1. An access control system comprising:
an access control device comprising:
a communication module configured to wirelessly transmit an advertising signal when initiated, and to wirelessly receive an access credential from a mobile device;
a detection sensor electrically coupled to the communication module, the detection sensor configured to initiate the transmission of the advertising signal by the communication module when a status event is detected;
a memory for storing an authorized access credential; and
an authentication module electrically coupled with the communication module and the memory, the authentication module configured to compare the access credential with the authorized access credential wherein
the mobile device is configured to automatically transmit the access credential, and wherein transmission of the access credentials is conditioned on a signal strength of the advertising signal, and
wherein the automatic transmitting of the access credential is deactivated responsive to the access credential not matching an authorized access credential; and
wherein the transmitting of the access credential is further conditioned on a movement of the mobile device, wherein the movement of the mobile device indicates whether the mobile device has been continuously carried or set down, and wherein responsive to an indication of the mobile device being continuously carried the access credential is automatically transmitted, and responsive to an indication of the mobile being set down, the access credential is not automatically transmitted.
